What is the ruling on female students going out to rest houses outside the city for recreation without a mahram?

Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on a group of female students from the Qur'an memorization program going out of the city to rest houses to spend a full day in recreation, knowing that they go out without mahrams?

Answer:
A woman should be in her home; she should be in her home and not go out except for a need that is absolutely necessary for her, such as going out to buy something she needs that no one else can buy for her, or going out to work in order to earn a living because she has no other source of income. She goes out to work that involves no mixing and no exposure, work specifically for women, so she goes out for this purpose. But if she goes out for sightseeing and leisure, that is not permissible for her because of the danger and mixing involved, and because these rest houses gather all sorts of girls and women, and we are not all at the same level in our religion. There may be among them someone who has no religion, or whose religion is flawed, or who adopts certain ideas, and she will have an influence. So a woman, and especially a young woman, her guardian must protect her in the home. If she does not go out to the mosque except with her husband's permission, and she is also not adorned and not exposing any part of her body, how can she go to the parks? She does not go to the mosque except with caution. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Look, their homes are better for them, and let them go out in a state of undress, meaning not adorned and not perfumed. So the matter requires caution and has regulations. It is not that a girl goes out wherever she wants, goes to the parks and comes back. This is not acceptable and is not permissible. This leads to the girl being lost later on.
